“…Social support for the adult women with the MetS risk factors indicated significant improvement after the PAR intervention. This is consistent with the previous research’s findings, that social support improved for these women after participating in a coherence enhancement [ 13 ] and a self-care reinforcement program [ 7 ]. However, this was inconsistent with a research that reported no change in workers’ social support after the PAR application [ 8 ].…”

“…In addition, the participants were instructed to frequently check their health status in terms of abdominal circumference, blood pressure, and pulse measurement. At the group-level, social support from family and colleagues was identified as a major influencing factor [ 7 ], thus the creation of a support group for those who face the same problems. At the beginning of the program, the most influential participant was selected as the leader, and from the second session onwards, he/she was allowed to act as the leader of the group discussion.…”

“…The individual-level factors include lifestyle habits, such as diet, exercise, weight control, body mass index (BMI) reduction, smoking cessation [ 4 ], and cognitive aspects, including health perception, exercise efficacy, and perceived intensity [ 6 ]. At the group level, social support can be expected from family, friends, and colleagues [ 7 ]. It is essential to organize group meetings with peers experiencing similar problems to support one another during a MetS intervention requiring continuous lifestyle improvements [ 3 , 7 ].…”

“…Thus far, the MetS-related interventions have addressed health education to prevent MetS and improve its symptoms at the individual and group levels. Counseling for lifestyle improvement, motivational interviewing [ 16 ], and supportive programs through group discussions or self-help group activities [ 7 , 13 ] have proven to be effective in enhancing health behaviors, social support [ 7 , 12 ], and metabolic-related indices [ 13 , 16 ]. However, although these interventions temporarily induced changes in perception and health behaviors, there was no lasting effect [ 17 ], suggesting that these programs failed to consider that MetS in adult women occurs on multi-levels.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a participatory action research (PAR) on reducing the metabolic syndrome risk factors among the Koran adult women. The effectiveness of the PAR intervention was examined using a one-group pretest-post-test design. The data were collected from 58 adult women living in a community health center in Ulsan, Korea, between May and November 2016. The psychosocial factors (empowerment, social support, and quality of life), metabolic-related indices, and health behaviors were collected to measure the intervention’s efficiency. After applying it, the participants’ empowerment, social support, and health-related quality of life increased significantly, as compared to the pre-test. Furthermore, their metabolic-related indices improved significantly in the post-test, as compared to the pre-test. Therefore, the PAR intervention was found to be effective in enhancing the psychosocial factors, metabolic-related indices, and health behaviors in the aforementioned population and could be applied to other community health centers.

AimsThis study aimed to examine the relationship between heart failure knowledge, self‐efficacy, social support, grit and self‐care behaviour in patients with heart failure and to identify factors associated with patients' self‐care behaviour.BackgroundMost patients with heart failure are not as active in implementing self‐care behavioural practices as recommended by the guidelines.DesignThis descriptive cross‐sectional study was designed based on Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory.MethodsThis study included 138 patients who were diagnosed with heart failure in an outpatient department of cardiology at a tertiary hospital in Korea. Data were collected between July and October 2020 using a structured questionnaire and electronic medical records. Data were analysed using the SPSS/WIN 27.0 program.ResultsGrit had the strongest association with self‐care behaviour among patients with heart failure, followed by social support, self‐efficacy and heart failure knowledge. These variables accounted for approximately 52% of the variance in self‐care behaviour.ConclusionsHealth‐care professionals should assess patients' grit and develop patient‐tailored grit enhancement programmes. Based on the social cognitive theory, nursing intervention programmes that can simultaneously manage cognitive (knowledge and self‐efficacy), social and environmental (social support) and behavioural support (grit) factors should be developed and applied to nursing practices to promote self‐care.

[Purpose] To determine the correlations of differences in the income level with the presence of metabolic syndrome (MetS), energy intake, and physical activity across Korean elderly populations.[Methods] We obtained data from 2,139 elderly individuals (aged >65 years) based on the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) (2016‒2018). We analyzed the levels of physical activity (PA) and energy intake using the survey data. Moreover, we analyzed the differences in energy intake and PA levels according to the income level and MetS.[Results] Compared with the non-MetS group, the MetS group displayed significantly higher levels of waist circumference (p=0.000), triglycerides (p=0.000), systolic blood pressure (p=0.000), diastolic blood pressure (p=0.016), and fasting blood glucose (p=0.000) for both high and low income levels. However, the level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol was significantly lower in the MetS group than that in the non-MetS group (p=0.000). The level of smoking in non-MetS men was significantly higher than that in MetS men across all participants (p=0.047). Except carbohydrate intake, the total energy intake (p=0.022), fat intake (p=0.009), and protein intake (p=0.005) were significantly lower in the MetS group than those in the non-MetS group for high income levels. We obtained similar results for low income levels. The two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) did not identify an interaction between the income level and the presence of MetS; however, the total energy, i.e., the level of total energy intake, was significantly lower in participants with low income levels than in those with high income levels. For high income levels, transport PA (p=0.002), vigorous recreational PA (p=0.001), moderate recreational PA (p=0.001), and total PA (p=0.000) were significantly lower in the MetS group than those in the non-MetS group. For low income levels, moderate occupational PA (p=0.012), transport PA (p=0.018), and total PA ((p=0.000) were significantly lower in the MetS group than those in the non-MetS group. The total PA, i.e., the level of energy consumption, was significantly lower in the elderly with low income levels than in those with high income levels.[Conclusion] Regardless of the income level, the elderly with MetS exhibited low levels of energy intake and PA, compared with those without MetS. In addition, regardless of the presence of MetS, the elderly with low income levels exhibited lesser energy intake and PA. These findings implied the need for balanced nutrient intake and increased participation in PA as well as education and program development to prevent MetS in the elderly.
